I cannot speak for him, but sometimes it is easier to just let the OS do stu= ff for you. That being said, if that is what he wants, it would be trivial t= o do using thread specific data: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.solaris/816-5137/tlib-40012/index.= html The GNU extension is just a special case of TSD that was implemented to aid d= ebugging as far as I can tell. It is separate from the pthreads functionalit= y for implementing this though. >=20 > ManiaC++ > Jan Knepper >=20 >=20 >=20 >> On 04/30/2018 07:14, Manuel St=C3=BChn wrote: >> Hi, >>=20 >> for setting a name for pthreads i found pthread_set_name_np(3), but for r= etrieving the name i found nothing.
